Could fly down to Heathrow and hop in with one of the Londoners?
It's more the cost and timing etc. Already have my Xmas holidays booked and would be too much of a trek/faff to get that far south in the time I have off.
Plus I hate putting my fate in someone else's hands. I'm working the odd day over Xmas and the thought of something happening and not making a flight back terrifies me, can't afford to not be able to make it back, at least with the car i'd have the RAC to rely on.
Alright Toms306 :p

But the poll will be decided by the convenience for the southern members, why should someone around London/South coast vote for somewhere a couple of hours away when Pompey is just around the corner? They'd put themselves first, hence the Pompey vote, and anyone who lives a fair distance away ie. Northerners will be accused of moaning etc because they "don't get it their own way".
Fact of the matter is, there's members all over the UK, but any meets are usually very Southern biased. That doesn't sound like "let's get as many people together as possible", it sounds more like "lets make it as easy as possible for the Southern clique and f*ck anybody else."
Time after time..
You would be surprised. Looking over who has voted for where, a lot haven't actually voted for the closest to their house.
Other thing you have to think of Chris is that the majority of members are below Birmingham. We could put the meet in Glasgow but there would only be a handful of people going because of the journey for 2 days.
Its like business. If your target customers are solely based in London, you dont put your shop in Aberdeen do you?
